Here in Arizona—the land of diamondback rattlers, scorpions, and a rejection of daylight savings time—we have achieved another milestone: time travel.

Unfortunately, we can only go back to 1864, but it is a start.

As I am sure you have heard, the Arizona Supreme Court, in a 4-2 decision, ruled a law from 1864, before Arizona was even a state, is the law of the land and imposes an almost total abortion ban. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

Thus, we find ourselves in a time warp.

I suppose we can next expect the same four Justices reapplying the law of rape as it was on the books during the same period under the Howell Code. The wise gentlemen of 1864—all white, male, and landowners—who wrote the legislation found this to be the most applicable definition of rape.

“Section 47, of the Howell Code defines rape as “the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will.” It also specifies penalties for having “carnal knowledge of any female child under the age of ten years, either with or without her consent.”

Perhaps you should re-read that in case you missed the part that says a “female child under the age of ten” and joins it with the phrase “with or without her consent.”

Let that percolate for a moment. As long as the ten-year-old female says, “Sure, I’d love to engage in sexual intercourse with you, Mr. Jones, since you and my dad have been such close friends for over forty years”—under the same code as the abortion statute now the law of the land—everything is okay.

This opens a new market for Epstein-like entrepreneurs and opportunities for young girls to meet the (older) man of their dreams. And let’s men corral young “women” before these gals get educated, uppity, or “old.”

And it can all be legal.

“No, actually the woke culture will only end when Christian woman act like Christian woman. Their egos and conditioning are way past the point of men leading them to any solution.”

Such logic—which can only come from what must be ED-suffering old white men who can no longer charm or satisfy women—is their only avenue to control them.

As to the lone woman jurist who voted with the majority, she is deferring to her role as a subservient Christian woman following the lead of the patriarchal mandates of faith. She is not alone, the attitude is not uncommon among many here in good old Arizona and elsewhere.

Don’t believe me? Here was a response to another piece I wrote about the Judeo-Christian push to replace secular government. https://atomic-temporary-37778625.wpcomstaging.com/2024/04/06/a-christian-nationalist-nightmare/

I will mask the name, not because they are likely to be embarrassed by the 14^th-century attitude but because they won’t be. Here’s the quote with the unedited grammar intact,

“No, actually the woke culture will only end when Christian woman act like Christian woman. Their egos and conditioning are way past the point of men leading them to any solution.”

So, you see, the whole problem in this country is women have copped an attitude that they are equal—some go as far as believing superior, ha-ha— to men and do not recognize they need a man to show them the way.

Thus, three men and a woman have turned the clock back to the 19^th century in Arizona.

Every morning, when I look at the headlines in the Arizona Republic, I expect to see an announcement about when the Inquisition will resume. After all, it worked in the past. And, with a little luck, we can improve our time travel capability to go even further into history, resurrecting the laws enacted by the Puritans and seeking out the witches among us.

Meanwhile, you might want to keep an eye on your ten-year-old daughter. She might be the consenting type.
